Ok, I bled the clutch system through the slave cylinder, but I can't figure out how to bleed the master cylinder.

 

If you have abs brakes, and I'm almost certain you do...then your going to need special tools to bleed the master brake system...
Take the car to a dealer service garage or a shop that has the correct tools to do the job.
It's not an easy job if you haven't done it before...if you have the tools and a friend to be with you to help out ...then let us in the forum know this...

I'm sorry, I guess I worded that wrong earlier. I am not working on the brakes. I am working on the clutch. After bleeding the slave cylinder, the clutch pedal wont go in all the way and it's making a kinda snapping sound. I'm afraid that if I push it too hard, it will brake. Someone told me that I had to bleed the clutch master cylinder as well as the slave cylinder. But I can't find where to bleed it from on the Clutch Master Cylinder.

 

Angelo, all that stuff isn't necessary for the clutch hydraulics.

Jason, was most of the fluid gone from the clutch master cylinder reservoir? If so, you have to find and correct the leak. Look for clutch fluid at the slave and master cylinder. Air will not miraculously enter into the system, so you will have to look around for signs of fluid loss.

As for bleeding, it is pretty simple. You will bleed the master and slave cylinder at the same time. Get a bottle of brake fluid (Dot 3 or 4), fill up the clutch reservoir (#21) and leave the cap off. Put a line wrench on the bleeder valve of the slave cylinder (#2), then place one end of a clear hose onto the valve and the other end into a container.

Loosen the valve one turn and have your assistant push down on the clutch pedal, tighten the bleeder valve, then tell your assistant to allow the pedal to return (they may have to pull it up). Finally check that the fluid in the master cylinder reservoir has not dropped below the min line, add fluid if necessary. Repeat this process until you see no air bubbles coming out of the system through that clear tube.

One note is the hose may not be the perfect size for the bleeder valve nipple, so you may see tiny air bubbles the whole time. Try to look for air coming out of the bleeder valve and not entering from the hose. Also, have your assistant push slowly down on the pedal to help prevent this from happening.

 

Here's a couple things I've found with Honda clutches.

You WILL need to pull the pedal back up - loop a string around the pedal so you can pull on that. When pulling the pedal back up, keep it under control - DON'T let it snap upwards 'cause that seems to suck air into the MC.

If you can find some way to pump clean new fluid into the slave, all the better. I use a pressure bleeder, but you can try a big syringe of some kind. (Veterinary supply shop?) That way you're pushing the air bubbles "uphill".
